About Rent-to-Own

Who is rent to own for?

People have the following issues:

– Damaged credit

– Have had a bankruptcy in the past

– Have had a foreclosure in the past

– Do not have the full down payment saved but are close to half

– New to Canada with no established credit

– Self employed and do not show enough income

 

How much are the monthly payments?

-The monthly payments will generally be an additional 400-600 dollars per month higher than what market rent would be for the property to leave room for the rent credit which goes toward your down payment at the end of the term to qualify with the bank.  This number will vary based on your available down payment and the price of the home.

 

Do I need a down payment and if so, how much?

-The normal rule of thumb is 2-2.5% of the purchase price

-This down payment is a non-refundable deposit to be put into the program and will not be refunded if you fail to meet the terms of the rent to own agreement (not paying rent) or choose to not buy the home at the end of the term

 

How long is the term?

-Normally they terms are set for 2- 3 years to allow time for credit repair and savings toward the full 5% down to qualify via traditional financing.

-If you are ready to close on the home and could qualify before the end of the term you can execute your option to buy at any time!

 

How do you repair credit?

– We work with a number of mortgage specialists that will create a program based on your circumstances to ensure that your credit score will be in the proper range to qualify at the end of the term.  You will be responsible for not initiating any new debt that could affect your ability to qualify during the term

 

What if unforeseen circumstances come up and I can’t qualify at the end of the term?

-In almost all cases there will be an option to renew for 1 year at the end of the term to allow you time to get back on track, the goal is to make you a home owner!
